As you’ve been informed (and I had NO idea!) … today was my birthday! :)

For my birthday, Abigail and I had plans to go to breakfast and then to thrift shops because I LOVE thrifting and don’t get to do it much). Jared and Cecily were so sweet to offer to stay home to babysit for me. (I have such loving and wonderful kids!) You can click on the picture to watch their Happy Birthday to me. :)

But let me back up… I woke up at 6:00 am and realized I had a headache. :( BUMMER! I haven’t had a headache in at least 2, maybe even 3 months. But for some reason today – my birthday – I woke up with one. It wasn’t horrible, so I got up and took some ginger and apis mel, and sprayed cayenne up my nose (YOWPAH!). Usually that combination will lick a headache, but this morning it didn’t do so well for me.

Anyway, after loading up on supplements, I went to get in the bathtub. I put the stool with a towel on it next to the tub to set my iphone on. It’s my routine. Today – I stepped into the tub and before I set my iPhone down it slipped out of my hand and INTO the tub! I picked it up SUPER FAST! It wasn’t in there more than a couple of seconds. The phone seemed perfectly fine so I dried it off, blew it off… and continued to do my morning thing.

About 30 minutes later… my phone starting showing signs of injury… tonight it’s still broken… so I think it’s a goner! Boo hoo!

Doesn’t seem like a great way to start ones birthday eh? So, the rest of the day I was phone-less (and will be until I figure out what I’m going to do).

As we were on our way to breakfast, I really thought I was going to be sick – but after taking a Tylenol, Benadryl and eating some breakfast, I started to feel better. YAY! Starbucks was next and I was feeling pretty good by then. :)

The “Value Center” in downtown Wichita was ridiculously over-priced for most things, but we did find a few things – like this cool hat for Jared. (We found the shirt at another store. LOVE that combo!)

This building was right next to the thrift store and I thought it was really cool – so I took a picture, of course! :) Don’t you think it’s cool?

I think we went to a total of about 7-8 thrift stores. Two of them on our list were either closed or out of business. We found fun stuff at both of these stores.

This store had a cute name (Pink Door – What Not Shop) and was a charming store, but we left without buying anything.

We jaywalked … going from one store to another that was across the street. We felt so free and wild! ha!


We were on our way to this store.

Midday – we went to On the Border and ate too much. We both skipped dinner.

We went to Barnes and Noble… and then our last stop was World Market. I love that place! I bought a gray scarf, a Cream Soda, some Pumpkin Seeds, Cinnamon Almonds and some earrings.

When I got home and checked my email, I realized Abigail had a put up a post! I felt so special as I read all of your comments. I read EACH ONE out loud to my family. You guys just warmed my heart with your kindness. Thank you so so much!!! And I’m sexy! ha ha!!! Abigail took this picture of me smiling through all of the comments. :)

And this is what we bought…


Here’s a closer view (yes, those are turquoise Converse for Jonas! Aren’t they groovy?)

And here is a vlog we did when we got home… to talk about the day. I love you guys and want to say THANK YOU for making my birthday extra special!
